My Take
Mention Manu Bennett and a villain's face appears instantly. This Rotorua-born actor of Maori descent has made a specialty of antagonists you can't help but love: Crixus, Deathstroke, Azog. The physicality and menace he brought to Spartacus and The Hobbit are not things just any actor can summon. Born in 1969 and still working at the top of fantasy casting, his presence is genuinely one of a kind. I believe an actor who can carry a hero's most formidable opponent is the real deal. Performers like him are the structural backbone of the worlds they inhabit, and that earns my sincere respect.
